this weekend, I

went on two long long long walks with the dogs and one with my husband.

went to church and grocery shopping.

did fifteen loads of laundry (only slightly exaggerating) in our brand-spanking new frontloading washer and dryer.

read a good book.

watched a foreign film.

sucessfuly put family drama and professional challenges out of my head.

and made....my first step towards re-slipcovering the whole house! This blue is actually really vibrant turquoise, and this old armchair won't know itself when I get done with it. K. helped me a bunch-- he's very good at understanding how things should be-- but I made this my very self with the thirty-year-old sewing machine I bought over a year ago in the hopes of doing just this.

To be honest, I am very, very proud of myself.

the zipper ain't so pretty...before we got thread that matched...but no one will see it anyway!
